[Psycho for Perreault]

Prediction: Kakko and Zib score 2 5v5 goals each. People start complaining about Panarin and Laf in the post game thread.

 

[duhmetreE]

the cynic in me says, we have to lose eventually.....

 

[McRanger92]

Kakko and Mika will each have a 5v5 point or 2 and we lose. Because it's gotta happen sometime and Dallas is deservedly a top5 team in the league.

On the other hand, we are also a top 5 team, so maybe we win.

By a bit, Dallas is the best team they will have had played so far. Defense is a eh, but that offense is very deep.

1st in the league in FACEOFFS?!?!??!

Big test tonight

If they can get 5 points in the next 4 games, gotta be happy with that I think.

That would put them at 30 points in 19 games and on pace for 125+.

Dallas is a really good transition team. Have to manage the puck well in this one. F3 has to be alert. I know what F3 is now, because Micheletti explained it to me.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Win or lose, I still think cooler heads will prevail.

Win it, and an office copier and two cubicles go flying out the window.

Lose...and an office copier and two cubicles go flying out the window.

Back on the road, I expect a solid systems game with a full team effort. Don't start smelling your farts just yet.

Jesus f***ing Christ why?

F3??? Take that shit to the chess thread

Don't shoot the messenger!

 

[Machinehead]

Our shot metrics are good. Our expected goals metrics are not as good.

That being said, our expected goals against is pretty solid. Do I care about quality-for? Not as much. Most goals in the playoffs are by accident.

If we played exactly like this with a hot Panarin, I would consider us a legit contender.

Haha, when they brought up F3, my wife asked what that meant and I pretended like I did and said “it’s their compete level” then 5 second later they explained what it was, and it was not their compete level

 

[Profet]

This is a much bigger and heavier forward group then jersey.

I expect to see some warts in Jones' game today.

 

[McRanger92]

Believe Zac Jones only NHL goal was against Dallas
